Longboard run in London

[madjosh7]

Would you recomend the Board for a first time longboarder

[minimi535]

do you got the complite setup with saber trucks and cult wheels and abec 5 bearings?

[Uilliam93]

me and my friend went to london a couple weeks back, i brought my Drop Carve, he brought his Loaded Tan Tien. It was awesome >.< i seemed to notice (just my experience, and i'm just a stupid Aerican, so what do i know? :P) it seemed that people are a lot cooler about skaters in London City than they are in NYC. Dunno Why.

this music sucks big time, the video quality as well

[NiggoFB]

is this board good for a beginner?

thanks

[EternityInValhalla]

Awesome vid mate! I tried getting some footage recently, but I ran out of batteries part way through recording. So lost good stuff :(

[LoudAndClear92]

Does anyone know any really good, hilly areas in London to longboard? Preferably in North London, I live in East Finchley and I'm really bored of the same old moderately-steep bits of Highgate and Muswell Hill.

Any advice would be very, very much appreciated

hey greenwich park is amazing for hills... there are alot of longboarders who hangout there too... give it a shot

[ChubbyA2Z]

Not familiar with the north of the city but in the south you have a lot of options if you ever want to come down just to ride for a day,

but i think joining the group on facebook called "london longboards" is a good place to find posts on certain hills you might not be aware of.

i dont know if that helps at all

[dhillier]

Crystal palace park is good. There are videos of longboarding there

[txc876]

Longboarding videos from any other country are invariably awesome.

For some unknown reason the English just aren't cool.

[Highway2hell69]

thats a bit of generalisation lol 60million ppl over here i'm sure we're not all the same

[txc876]

True. But you'll admit the rain has a depressing effect.

Some of your ethnic minorities (from that 60million!) are very cool indeed.

Unfortunately they don't tend to skateboard much.

My mate and I both own sambas, truly great boards! The best carver and slider i've ever riden! Although speedwobble is a major problem at higher speeds

[permaculturee]

You gotta run different setups for different jobs.

For carving I like to run with two barrel bushings, soft on the upper and extra soft on the lower. Using a second barrel bushing instead of using the thinner bushing for the lower position, means you can loosen your trucks and carve better. Flip the cup washer around so it doesn't cut into the extra soft bushing.

To reduce high speed wobble, you'd want hard bushings all over, probably.

I have a cuatom set up with that deck!!!

[Hixon515]

[Ashman2694]

Thinking of getting one, does it slide though?

[chez1812]

yehh mann. it grips like crazy but as soon as u push it into a slide the wheels just skim the road.

its like they know what u wanna do.

[MCBSOAD]
